Trip to the midwest...

We just returned from a much needed visit with family back in the midwest. We thought we'd be safe planning a trip to Michigan in November....but it was snowing there already!!! Yuck! And SOOOO cold! After visiting with my family for a few days, Avery and I flew to Madison, WI to meet up with Jon at his sister's house. Grandma Kathy and Grampa Warren drove down for a quick visit too. And Avery got to see snow one more time before we headed home. We miss everyone already, but it's 50 degrees and sunny here today - I do not miss the snow!



Here are a couple pictures from the trip. The rest can be seen at the link below:

More snow...

And lots of fun times with Katie and Jackson...

Happy Birthday Uncle Nick...

Dear Uncle Nick,
Hope you're having a great birthday! I miss you and can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!

Love,
Avery

For Jackson...

I don't know how Jon discovered that Avery thinks "Jackson" is the funniest word ever, but here she is cracking up about it...

If you're happy and you know it....

She gets a little distracted at the end, but that's probably because she had already made us sing "Happy" with her 20 times this day. The funny thing is that Avery actually taught us how this song goes by doing all the hand movements herself. She must have learned this at daycare.

Please excuse our singing voices....
